The irrigation schemes were Haleku scheme with a command area of 42 ha and 96 beneficiaries, and Dodicha scheme with 75 ha irrigable lands and 150 beneficiaries. Primary and secondary data were collected for the study. The primary data include discharge at diversion point, moisture contents of the soils before and after irrigation, measurement of depth of water applied to the fields. The secondary data include total yields, farm gate prices of irrigated crops, area irrigated per crop per season, crop types, incomes generated by the irrigation as.. Read More»
